Once you've set up a shipping rate, if you need a second shipping rate with slightly different prices or rules, it can be quicker to duplicate the rate. Once you have a duplicate, you can quickly change the settings you need to, leaving all the common settings the same.

Some scenarios this comes in handy are:

- If you want to create an express rate using the same postcodes as your standard rate.
- Use the same settings and rules, but with different prices in a second rate.
- Creating an excluded shipping rate for the same set of zip codes or postal codes.

Luckily, duplicating a shipping rate is as easy as clicking the duplicate button!

![Better Shipping for Shopify duplicate shipping rate button~67x30~better-shipping-app-for-shopify-duplicate-button.png](better-shipping-app-for-shopify-duplicate-button.webp "Better Shipping for Shopify duplicate shipping rate button")

<br></br>

In this article, I'll put the steps to duplicate a 'standard' shipping rate and adjust the duplicated rate to be an express shipping rate.

You also don't need to do everything in the order shown here. If you know exactly what you need to change for the new duplicated rate, there is no issue skipping directly to the page you need to make the change and saving it.

We have an informal video of the steps required to do this, or if you prefer continue below for step-by-step instructions.

with the Better Shipping App for Shopify

Duplicate a Shipping Rate


You can use Better Shipping to restrict products to or from specific countries. You don't have to use postcodes when you want to do this. All you need to do is to first create that country as a shipping zone in your Shopify shipping settings. Head to your General Profile and create a shipping zone.

![Better Shipping for Shopify Shopify admin shipping zone settings screenshot~600x702~shopify_shipping_zone_settings_screenshot.png](shopify_shipping_zone_settings_screenshot.webp "Shopify admin set up shipping zones settings")

<br/>
Then select the country that you want to ship to (we're using the UK in this scenario). Then select "better shipping" as the calculated rate for that zone and save.


![Better Shipping for Shopify Shopify admin shipping zone add Better Shipping App carrier to UK shipping zone screenshot~600x230~shopify_shipping_zone_UK_better_shipping_carrier_screenshot.png](shopify_shipping_zone_UK_better_shipping_carrier_screenshot.webp "Shopify admin shipping zone add Better Shipping App carrier to UK shipping zone")

<br/>
Now in the Better Shipping app, when you click "create a new rate" you will be able to select which country you want to apply the rate to. You can see that our UK Shopify shipping zone is an option in the app now. That means that your Better Shipping rate will be applied to the whole of the UK (no need to add postcodes!).

![Better Shipping for Shopify choose shipping zone screenshot~500x652~better_shipping_create_shipping_rate_choose_shipping_zone_screenshot.png](better_shipping_create_shipping_rate_choose_shipping_zone_screenshot.webp "Better Shipping for Shopify Step 1 choose your shipping zone")

<br/>
Now if you would like to restrict certain products from shipping to the UK, you can set this up using your "shipping rules" (this is step 3 in the app, for this scenario we aren't using the per product rates, but you absolutely can if you would like to).

So first you need to create a new rule.

![Better Shipping for Shopify create a new shipping rule screenshot~600x309~better_shipping_blank_shipping_rule_list_screenshot.png](better_shipping_blank_shipping_rule_list_screenshot.webp "Better Shipping for Shopify Step 3 create a new shipping rule")

<br/>
Name the rule anything that you would like (it won't be visible to your customers at the checkout), and then select the rule type. As we want to restrict shipping ability based on product we need to select (order includes products). Next you can choose which products you don't want to ship to the UK, and move them into the "order includes products" column. That way when a customer tries to order any of the selected products the rule is triggered (we've used the "more green" product for this example).

![Better Shipping for Shopify add specific products to a new includes products shipping rule trigger screenshot~600x526~better_shipping_new_product_includes_shipping_rule.png](better_shipping_new_product_includes_shipping_rule.webp "Better Shipping for Shopify add specific products to a new includes products shipping rule trigger")

<br/>
Then you can choose what happens when a customer tries to order the selected product, to ensure that customers in the UK can't buy the "more green" product you need to select "disable shipping rule"

![Better Shipping for Shopify set disable shipping rate action to specific include products rule  screenshot~400x526~better_shipping_disable_shipping_rate_rule_action.png](better_shipping_disable_shipping_rate_rule_action.webp "Better Shipping for Shopify set disable shipping rate action to specific include products rule")

<br/>
Click save and that's it!

<br/>
<br/>

When customers with a UK postcode to try and purchase the "more green" product, the rate will be disabled and customers won't be able to complete the checkout. 

Don't forget to click finish when your done, and then you can test the rule!

How to Restrict Specific Products from Shipping to Specific Countries or States


If you need to restrict your store so only customers in specific zip codes can complete orders. Or even if you want to restrict specific shipping rates, like a local delivery shipping rate, to only appear to customers in a specific area, then Better Shipping is for you.

Some scenarios this comes in handy are:

- Restrict customers from checking if they are not within your zip code area

- Show a local delivery shipping rate when they are inside your local delivery range (and hide it when they are not)
- Charge different amounts depending on the customer's zip code area
- Exclude a list of zip codes from completing checking out, or using a specific rate (such as air shipping).
- Restrict specific states and countries from checking out.
- Restrict the checkout for zip codes if there is a specific product in the cart (see our article on [Restrict Express Shipping Rates for Specific Products](/blog/restrict-express-shipping-rates-for-specific-products))
- And so many more variations of restriction using zip codes and products

In this article, I'll go through the zip code restriction to stop customers checking out if they are outside your area, and charge different shipping prices for different areas.

Before we start, you will need a list of the zip codes you want to use in your restriction. Note, you do not need to list all the zip codes in your state or country. You can list the zip codes you want to use, or the zip codes you want to exclude (or both).

We have a [USA common list of 'starts with' zip codes](https://support.atomyard.com/hc/en-us/articles/4416204510489-USA-Zip-Codes) for each USA state. Feel free to copy and paste those to create a customized list of states, which you can also drill down to smaller areas within the states by adding more numbers to the starts with zip codes. The app support zip codes all the way to the finest zip+4 areas. You can copy and paste your list of zip codes into the app when you create your restricted shipping rate.

If you are in the UK, we have a [UK common list of 'starts with' postcodes](https://support.atomyard.com/hc/en-us/articles/4426303660185-UK-Postcodes)

If you require a radius around a specific point, for example a 30-mile radius around your brick and mortar store or warehouse, we have an article to get your [Zip/Post code radius](https://support.atomyard.com/hc/en-us/articles/4426148896793-Zip-Post-code-radius-) and set a radius, and then copy the Zip Codes/Postcodes in the comma separated format directly into the app.

Once you have your list of zip codes, we can get started creating the Better Shipping zip code restricted rate inside the app.

We have an informal video of the steps required or continue below for step-by-step instructions.

Restrict Your Store Using Zip Codes


You may want to set up a free pick up option or local pickup option for your customers to come and collect their order. You can create as many of these options as you would like. This can be helpful if you have multiple collection points or warehouses.

First click "create a new shipping rate". Then name the rate something that will reflect that this is a pick up shipping option. You can also use the optional description to give your customers more information. For example "we will contact you when your order is ready" or "Pick up between 10am and 12pm on Mondays". Assign the shipping rate to the appropriate Shopify shipping zone and click "next".

![Better Shipping for Shopify choose shipping zone screenshot~600x698~better_shipping_choose_shipping_zone_screenshot.png](better_shipping_choose_shipping_zone_screenshot.webp "Better Shipping for Shopify Step 1 choose your shipping zone")

Next you have the option of restricting this pick up rate to specific zipcodes. This can be useful if you have multiple pick up locations or warehouses, and only want to ensure that customers in one area only have the option to pick up from a specific location. Please note, if you don't want to restrict the pick up rate by zipcode you can skip this step and by just clicking "no".

![Better Shipping for Shopify restrict shipping rate to zip codes or postal codes screenshot~350x549~better_shipping_zip_codes_screenshot.png](better_shipping_zip_codes_screenshot.webp "Better Shipping for Shopify Step 1 restrict shipping rate to zip codes or postal codes")

This means that at the checkout, only customers with those 4 zipcodes will be able to select "pick up from Location A". You can create as many of these zipcode specific pick up options as you would like. Then click "next".

You will be asked if you want to use "per product shipping". For this rate, as it's free, we are going to click "no". Then click "save and next".

![Better Shipping for Shopify do you want to use the per product shipping feature screenshot~600x345~better_shipping_use_per_product_question_screenshot.png](better_shipping_use_per_product_question_screenshot.webp "Better Shipping for Shopify Step 1 do you want to use the per product shipping feature")

Finally you can create your shipping rule that will impose free shipping on all of your orders for this rate. Click "create rule" and you're done!

![Better Shipping for Shopify create free shipping rule screenshot~400x534~better_shipping_create_free_shipping_rule_screenshot.png](better_shipping_create_free_shipping_rule_screenshot.webp "Better Shipping for Shopify Step 3 create a free shipping rule")

Finally you can test your settings to make sure that they are working as you would like. If you come up against any issues let us know as we are always happy to jump in and help.

Add Local Pickup Locations at the Shopify Checkout


There might be certain products which you might not want to offer specific types of shipping on. For example, if you have a standard shipping rate and an express shipping rate, you might have some heavier or larger products which are not eligible for express shipping. Here we will take you though how you can remove certain shipping rates from the checkout if specific products are in the cart.

First off you'll need to create your "express shipping rate" (or the shipping rate for only certain products), name it and apply it to the appropriate shipping zone.

![Better Shipping for Shopify choose shipping zone screenshot~600x691~better_shipping_create_shipping_rate_choose_shipping_zone_screenshot.png](better_shipping_create_shipping_rate_choose_shipping_zone_screenshot.webp "Better Shipping for Shopify Step 1 choose your shipping zone")

<br/>
Then you can skip through the next two screens (unless you want to restrict express shipping sales to specific zipcodes only). Then click "save and next".

<br/>
<br/>
Next you can apply your per product shipping rate to each of your express shipping products. Please note, for this example I have two "express shipping products", the green stuff and the more green. The Vert product will not be available for express shipping, so I can leave the shipping rate as $0.

![Better Shipping for Shopify Step 2 set per product rates~600x614~better_shipping_per_product_rates_screenshot.png](better_shipping_per_product_rates_screenshot.webp "Better Shipping for Shopify Step 2 set per product rates")

<br/>
Then click next, and you'll be taken to the shipping rules page. Here you can create a new shipping rule.

![Better Shipping for Shopify create a new shipping rule screenshot~600x312~better_shipping_blank_shipping_rule_list_screenshot.png](better_shipping_blank_shipping_rule_list_screenshot.webp "Better Shipping for Shopify Step 3 create a new shipping rule")

<br/>
Name it (it doesn't matter what it's called as customers won't see it) and choose what the type of rule is. For your scenario we want the shipping rule to be based on the orders included in the products.

<br/>
<br/>
Then you can select your NON express shipping products and move them into the right hand column. So all your NON express shipping products will trigger the rule. In this example, the Vert product is not available for express shipping, so it's the only product that will trigger the rule.

Next choose what happens to the shipping rate when the rule is triggered. For this scenario we want to disable the rate. Then click "create rule".

![Better Shipping for Shopify add specific products to a new includes products shipping rule trigger screenshot~600x691~better_shipping_new_product_includes_shipping_rule.png](better_shipping_new_product_includes_shipping_rule.webp "Better Shipping for Shopify add specific products to a new includes products shipping rule trigger")


Now when a customer orders only the green products, they will see the express shipping rates. However, it a customer orders the vert product alongside the green product, then the express shipping rate will not be available at the checkout.

If you would like to restrict specific products to specific zip codes, states and/or countries checkout our article [restrict specific products from certain countries](/blog/restrict-specific-products-from-certain-countries).

Restrict Express Shipping Rates for Specific Products


Tiered shipping allows you to use discounted shipping depending on the quantity the customer orders. 

E.g. you can charge $10 for the first item, $5 for additional items up to 10 items, and then $1 shipping for each additional item after 10 items. 

You can have different tiered prices and quantities for each product. You can also use our tiered groups to set the discount over a group of products, or all of your products.

You can also set up the feature to make it so the customer gets free shipping for that specific product if they order over a certain quantity. E.g. Order more than 5 items in a tiered group and the shipping for that group is free.

This is a very flexible feature that you can use to increase the customer order size before they checkout.

How to Set Up Tiered Shipping


Free + Shipping has proven to be a really popular tool for lots of merchants, as it allows you to offer customers the attraction of “free products” yet still remain profitable. The [Better Shipping App for Shopify](https://apps.shopify.com/better-shipping) allows you to set this up quickly and easily! It also allows you to offer a multitude of other shipping promotions (e.g. free shipping on orders over $50) while still retaining the shipping costs of your free products. 

You can use the per product shipping rates feature to set up your per product rates for your free + shipping products. If you also want to make sure that those products are excluded from your shipping rules, click the “skip shipping rules” column.

![Better Shipping for Shopify free plus shipping screenshot~600x100~free_plus_shipping_skip_shipping_screenshot.png](free_plus_shipping_skip_shipping_screenshot.webp "Better Shipping for Shopify free plus shipping")

This one simple step will ensure that your free + shipping products will still generate shipping fees even if you have other “free shipping” rules set up in the app.

If free + shipping is something that you’d like to set up for your store, you can check out our handy video tutorial for steps on how to make this feature work for you!

Free Plus Shipping


Simple price and weight rules have their place, but when you have a lot of different size products, or you have drop-shipping vendors, you need shipping control over each item. The is where Better Shipping's per product feature really shines.

With the per product shipping, you can charge add a shipping price for each item, and then the app will count the quantity in the cart and give a total combined shipping price at checkout. 

If you need to have the shipping price increase for each item in the cart, and then for example have a shipping rule for free over $100, that is also no problem. Once the per product rates are calculated, you can then run the Better Shipping shipping rules after the per product calculation total to make any adjustments. These could be checking if a particular product is in the cart, or adding a free shipping rule for price/weight, or any extra handling charges.

The video below takes you through a first set-up in the app. We also have some new features not shown in the video, where you can now do per variant shipping as well. One extension to the per product rates is using discounted tiered rates based on how many of each item is in the cart. If that sounds like something you need, [learn how to set up tiered shipping](/blog/how-to-set-up-tiered-shipping).

There are many more features that are not included in the video below. If there is something you want to do but can't see, and you can't find it in the documentation here, please don't hesitate to email us and ask.

How to Set Up Per Product Shipping


Whether you have multiple warehouses, or have multiple drop-shipping vendors, using multiple locations on Shopify can be a challenge.

##### How Shopify calculates multiple locations

When Shopify sends a shipping rate request for a customer cart, with products from multiple locations, they do it in parts. One part for each location, and each part contains only the products for that single location, with no information that it is part of a bigger order.

For example:  
A customer purchases a hat for $30 and a shirt for $40 in the same order  
the shirt ships from one location  
and the hat from another location  
tnd you have a free shipping over $50 shipping rule.  
In this case, the free shipping rule won't be triggered because each separate shipping request is under $50

Shopify will then take all the returned parts and add them together, which is usually not what you expect, and can be double or triple the actual shipping cost.


There are two different shipping scenarios that cause issues with the shipping calculations:
- [Drop shipping apps](#drop-shipping-apps)
- [Multiple warehouses](#multiple-warehouses)

<br></br>
##### Drop shipping apps

Drop shipping apps install their own 'app locations' on your store. The app locations are treated as multiple locations by Shopify and will cause issues with shipping calculations.

Those locations, however, are not typically used by the drop shipping apps at all! They can be safely changed to your main store location, eliminating the issue. If you think they might be used, you can email the drop shipping app support and ask them if they use their 'app location' for anything in your store.

Head over to our help documentation to see our [guide for changing the drop shipping app locations](https://support.atomyard.com/hc/en-us/articles/5243030967311-Multiple-drop-shipping-app-locations-causing-problems-with-shipping) in bulk.

<br></br>
##### Multiple warehouses

If you have multiple warehouses, and need to track the inventory at each location, then changing all of your products to one of the locations may not be viable.

The solution to this is to enable Shopify's Single Origin Shipping mode.

This mode allows you to have different inventory locations set for each product, but when Shopify requests a shipping rate from the Better Shipping app, it will treat all products as coming from a single location, and only make a single shipping rate request for all products in the cart, allowing the shipping rules to behave the way you expect.

There are some limitations to single origin mode, however. Head over to our blog post [How To Enable Single Origin Shipping](http://bettershippingapp.com/blog/enable-single-origin-shipping-for-multiple-locations) to find out more.

Multi Location Shipping on Shopify


Is Shopify's Single Origin Shipping mode the right thing to enable for your store? If you are unsure, we have another blog post describing [when to use Shopify's single origin shipping](/blog/single-origin-multiple-locations-shipping-on-shopify) and a [help center guide](https://support.atomyard.com/hc/en-us/articles/5243047806863-Multiple-locations-causing-problems-with-shipping-calculations). Or you can always [contact us](/contact) and let us know what you want to do, and we can recommend something!

If you want to enable single origin shipping, we have the steps outlined below.

<br>

Things to know before you start:
- Enabling single origin mode will disable the Shopify Local Pickup feature. Local Pickup will not work.

- Shopify's Local Delivery feature will still work.

- Shopify will clear and remove all of your shipping zones and shipping rates you currently have in your Shopify Admin->Settings->Shipping settings, including the general profile, and any custom profiles you have. You will need to recreate them once the feature is enabled.

- Your store will experience downtime while you recreate your shipping zones. (for as long as it takes to recreate the shipping zones and add a rate, such as the Better Shipping App carrier).

- You can only use the General Profile in single origin mode.

- Inventory tracking still works using Shopify's location priority.

- You can always change back to multi origin mode.

<br></br>

##### 1. Look at your Shipping settings
When you ask Shopify to enable single origin shipping mode, all of your Shipping Zones will be deleted. We recommend you record your current shipping zones and associated rates before you enable single origin, so you can re-add them easily. While your store has no shipping zones or shipping rates, your customers will not be able to check out. So it's also good to plan this step when it is a quiet time on your store (i.e., Sunday).

Make sure to look at both the shipping 'Your rates' tab and the 'Carrier and app rates' tab if you have both types added to a shipping zone.

<br></br>
We usually suggest that you take screenshots of all the shipping zones, including both the 'your rates' tab and the 'carriers and apps' tab, and save them somewhere, so you have a record of what they were, and can recreate them easily.

<br></br>

##### 2. Contact Shopify support and ask them to enable single origin shipping
Go to the [Shopify contact us page](https://help.shopify.com/en/questions#/contact) and contact Shopify.

Ask them to enable the single origin shipping feature. Note, when I asked them to enable the feature, they told me the Local Delivery and Local Pickup features would be disabled. However, only the Local Pickup feature is disabled. ***Local Delivery will still work***.

<br></br>

##### 3. Once activated, re-add your shipping zones and associated shipping rates
Now you can go back in and re-create your shipping zones. Don't forget to add the Better Shipping App as a carrier, so the Better Shipping app can generate rates at checkout.

<br></br>

##### 4. Do some test orders to make sure everything is working as expected.
